U.S. Bank recently gifted JXTA a $50,000 Community Possible grant to help fund the inaugural programming season of our new skate-able art plaza. The grant is part of U.S. Bank’s new annual $1 million fund focused on organizations driving economic development across the country in the areas of workforce preparation, affordable housing and arts and culture.

To celebrate this gift, we’re hosting a day of art-making, activities, and acknowledgements during Open Streets West Broadway on Saturday, September 14! Join us for skateboarding demonstrations, performances, refreshments, JXTA retail for sale, art-making, a game booth, and a meet-and-greet with Timberwolves mascot Crunch. A brief presentation will occur at approximately 1:00 p.m.

The 2019 season of skate-able art plaza activities is made possible with support from the U.S. Bank Market Impact Fund.

JXTA will use the funds to provide programming for the new skate-able art plaza in partnership with the West Broadway Business & Area Coalition and City of Skate. Through the new annual Market Impact Fund, U.S. Bank invests $50,000 grants to 20 nonprofit organizations across the country. The new Fund is in addition to U.S. Bank’s Community Possible giving platform focused on grant cycles in the areas of Work, Home and Play.
